🐀 NeRemo: The Nimble Robotic Mouse

A team of roboticists from the Technical University of Munich and Sun Yat-sen University has enhanced the agility of a quadruped robot, NeRemo →, by integrating a flexible spine and tail.

The neurorobotic mouse, designed to mimic the morphology and locomotion of biological mice, demonstrated improved static stability, walking speed, and turning behavior with the flexible spine.

The researchers revealed that the robot could walk 17 per cent faster and turn corners 30 per cent more swiftly when utilizing its flexible spine, emphasizing the potential for spine-based locomotion skills in agile-legged robots.
